It took special coding with new page for results, and several jumping through hoops.<br />
<br />
NOW, Google offers an easy way to add a custom Google Search to your Ning Network.<br />
<br />
<b>Go here:</b><br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/cse/" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/cse/</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Click on "Create a Custom Search Engine"</li>
<li>Next to: "What do you want to search?" Select - - <strong>Only sites I select.</strong></li>
<li>Under "Sites to search:" enter your Ning Network URL. If you want to search more than one site, enter 1 URL per line.</li>
<li>Agree to Google Terms.</li>
<li>Click on Next.</li>
<li>Click on Finish.</li>
<li>Now you'll be taken to a page with this header: "Search engines I've created"</li>
<li>Click on "Control Panel" next to your new Search Engine.</li>
<li>Look in left column. You will see a link: "Get code"</li>
<li>Copy/paste "Custom Search element code" to a text box on your Ning site.</li>
</ul>
<p><br />
If you want to see an example of how this works, see the Google Custom Search in right column of Creators (above videos).<br />
<br />
This answer is buried within a forum/discussion. I wanted to add it as tutorial, so it's easier to locate.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
